inDrop V1 / inDrop V2&3

inDrop was originally published in Cell 161, 1187-1201 (2015), which is the V1 version. Then, two years after that, the authors published the detailed protocol in Nature Protocols 12, 44-73 (2017), which seems to be the V2 version of the technology and has different primer design comparing to the original paper. According to the inDrop github repository, there is a version 3, but the oligos and library structures are exactly the same as version 2, except the sequencing mode has changed. In version 2, three different reads are generated; in version 3, four different reads are generated. See details below.

(3) Cluster regeneration, and add read 2 sequencing primer to sequence read 2 (top strand as template, these are the cell barcodes and UMI reads, at least 51 cycles):

V3 Library sequencing (four steps), this is just a guess based on the github page description and sample fastq files, not confirmed:

(1) Add read 1 sequencing primer to sequence the first read (bottom strand as template, these are the cDNA reads):
